HubbleSite holiday cards are back! Send celestial season's greetings to friends and family with these free, printable cards. Choose from an array of designs that highlight the joys of the holidays through the natural beauty of the universe.

The cards are designed to be printed out at photo stores or online photo labs, though you can also use a home printer.

Rather than a podcast hosting site which offers downloading, Mixcloud is a cloudcasting site for streaming. Not downloading.

I particularly like the tracklisting and chapters features, for the benefit of the listeners and for the purposes of paying royalties to artists, performers and labels through their licenses with the various collecting societies.

Thanks to you, my Kickstarter fundraising campaign for "Fiji Mermaid" has exceeded its projected goal by over 30%. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have a concrete budget for this film, and for the outpouring of support I have received. The campaign ends on the early morning of Dec 15, and I promise this will be my last reminder about it!

Handmade items like T-shirt, etching, or Fiji Mermaid will no longer be available after the 15th, so the next few days will be the last chance to pledge for those items. I'll do my best to make and ship everything in time for holiday gift-giving. If you haven't seen it already, a little about my film project and fundraising campaign here:

This Call for Artists (pdf) announces the opportunity to design and construct outdoor sculptures intended to provide both an interesting daytime element and a lit experience after the sun begins to set that meets the Crystal City BID’s branding message of “Dazzle, Illuminate, Sparkle, and Shine.” Artists are asked to submit ideas that use lighting to create unique sculptures that define space, color and balance in an outdoor setting. Selected artists will receive a grant of $5,000 from the Crystal City Business Improvement District to build and implement their concept in the Crystal City Water Park.
